I am an e-mail addict, and I've had to take steps to get it under control.

The problem has been that if I leave my g-mail window open but minimized, all I have to do is run my mouse over the little icon to see if any new messages have arrived. I've gotten to the point where I just keep running my mouse over there all day long, more times per minute than I can even count.

So I've had to set myself a new policy of checking e-mail only once per hour, and I close down the window between times. Today is the first day, and it's going pretty well so far...

About Me

I'm the author of seven books on Mormonism, including Mormon-themed humor and fiction. I'm the great-great-great-grandson of a Mormon apostle who had more than forty wives. I served an LDS mission in Melbourne, Australia, and worked as an editor at the LDS Church's official Ensign magazine. A graduate of Emerson College and Brigham Young University, I cofounded and edited the Mormon literary magazine Irreantum and the satirical Mormon newspaper The Sugar Beet. A Hodgkin's disease survivor and the oldest of ten siblings, I live with my wife and five children in Provo, Utah.
